Orientation matters more than momentum.

Before deciding where to go next, it helps to notice how you’re standing. What you’re paying attention to. What you’re moving past too quickly.

Travel has a way of revealing this. When movement becomes automatic, places begin to blur. Days compress. Encounters flatten. But when attention returns, even familiar ground starts to speak again.

Orientation isn’t about doing less. It’s about moving with clarity. Letting decisions come from listening rather than urgency. Allowing direction to emerge instead of forcing it.

This kind of awareness doesn’t demand a change of plans. It asks for a change of posture.

When orientation is right, direction follows naturally.
